Chapter 2474
Chapter 2474
The castle stood on the precipitous cliff, close to the sea. The cliff was more than 30 meters high, and the rocks underneath were strange and rugged. The waves kept hitting the black reefs, splashing 4 to 5 meters high and violently surging.
At the entrance of the castle, there was a cobblestone path that led all the way to the foot of the mountain. At the other end, it led directly to the entrance of the castle.He Jianwen came to the entrance of the castle. Outside the castle, there was another high stone wall with a wooden door in the middle. Through the gaps between the doors, one could see the courtyard that was already filled with weeds.
The lock on the wooden door had rusted and fallen off. He Jiaven pushed the door open and walked into the yard slowly with a creaking sound.
The castle was a wasteland, overgrown with weeds. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time. He Jiaven raised his head to look at the castle. He immediately saw a window on top of the castle. The window was not big, and the edge of the window had probably rotted and fallen off, leaving only a square hole.
However, He Jianwen had a strange feeling. Just now, someone was watching her through the window. However, when she raised her head, there was nothing inside the window.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his surprise. Then, he walked to the entrance of the castle. Although the heavy wooden door was mottled, it was still in good condition. With a light push, the two doors were pushed open.
The smell of corruption assaulted his nose. He Jiawen frowned, then walked into the house.
What surprised her was that although the exterior walls of the castle were mottled, the furnishings inside were still perfectly preserved. There was a sofa, a carpet, a fireplace, as well as a one-man clock on the floor. There were also many oil paintings on the walls of the castle. The man in the paintings was dressed in luxurious clothing, giving off an aristocratic aura. He should be the previous owner of this castle.
However, there was already a thick layer of dust on the table. The clock had stopped chiming. The time here seemed to have stopped at a certain point in the past. It was only when He Jianwen broke in that the silence was broken.
He Jiaven looked around and soon found the bug that had entered before her. He then followed the bug up the wooden stairs to the second floor.
The wooden staircase was old and the sound of creaking could be heard as soon as he stepped on it. It was very ear-piercing in the spacious castle.
He Jiaven pushed open two doors in succession. The furnishings in the room were all there, just like the hall downstairs. It was as if the owner left in a hurry without taking anything with him.What was even stranger was that everything here was well-preserved. No one had ever come here before, not even the thieves.
She even found an antique gold watch in one of the rooms. Although the needle on the watch had stopped, it was definitely worth a lot.
Suddenly, He Jiaven felt a chill run down his spine. He suddenly realized that the time on his golden watch was exactly the same as the time on the clock downstairs. It seemed like his golden watch had stopped at the same time as the clock downstairs.
However, when she left the room, the sound of her breathing suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sound of her breathing in the whole castle.
After pondering for a moment, He Jiawen walked to the door of the next room. When she took off the luxurious door handle wrapped in gold foil and pushed open the door, a group of black bats suddenly flew out of the room.Startled, He Jiaven quickly bent down to avoid the attack. Then, he nimbly circled around to the side, hiding behind a wall.
There were a lot of bats, perhaps more than a hundred of them. They flew out of the room, followed a hole on the top of the castle and disappeared without a trace.
He Jiaven leaned against the wall and panted heavily. After a while, she walked into the room that she had just entered and was surprised to find that this room was the same as the others. Besides the thick layer of dust on the furniture, there was nothing messy about this room.
Then she went to the door of the next room, the last room on the second floor.After the strange time just now, He Jianwen was even more careful behind opening the door. However, after the door was pushed open, it was still very quiet inside. Nothing like bats had appeared.
However, just as He Jianwen was about to enter the room, she suddenly felt something sticky beneath her feet. Lowering her head, she saw a red liquid continuously flowing out from the room. The sticky feeling came from this red liquid.
A strong smell of blood came along with it. He Jiaven's expression changed drastically, because the things on the ground were all blood.
She even saw an eyeball in the pool of blood, rolling towards her along with the blood!What was even more horrifying was the appearance of another eyeball, as well as a nose, mouth and even white teeth.
When these items appeared, He Jianwen felt as if he saw a strange smile appear in a pool of blood, and the two eyeballs were also looking at her."Devilish spirit demon, break for me!" He Jiawen suddenly took out a yellow talisman from his bosom. With a wave of his hand, the talisman automatically lit up. When she threw the burning charms into the pool of blood on the ground, a sharp and ear-piercing scream suddenly rang out, following that, the eyeballs and the nose and mouth all disappeared, even the blood on the ground also disappeared.
However, just at this moment, a group of bats flew out of the room and rushed towards He Jiavan.
He Jiaven waved his right hand and a small dagger appeared in her palm. The dagger actually glowed with a hazy white light, and a sharp blade light appeared at the tip of the dagger.
In the face of this extremely sharp dagger, the bats that flew out of the room were unable to withstand a single blow. As He Jiaven continued to swing his dagger, countless bats' corpses fell to the ground.
Strangely, when all the bats had died, He Jiaven looked down and saw nothing left on the ground. It was as if those bats from before had never appeared.
An old man with graying hair was reclining on a chair, facing the window. He seemed to be asleep. He Jiaven hesitated for a moment before walking towards the old man.
But before she could get close, the old man on the chaise longue turned and looked at her.
He Jianwen was shocked. "Master, why are you here?"
The old man on the reclining chair had a ruddy complexion with a kind smile on his face. He waved towards He Jianwen and shouted, "Come, come to Master."He Jiaven had just taken two steps when he snapped out of his daze and retreated quickly, "No, you're not my master. This is an illusion!"
She quickly took out a jade talisman from her pocket. In an instant, the jade talisman shone brightly and the room became a vast expanse of whiteness. When the white light disappeared, He Jianwen looked again and found that she was still staying in the hall on the first floor of the castle. This time, she found that the clock was moving.
A creepy feeling immediately overcame her heart. He Jiaven rushed towards the castle gate without any hesitation.
But at that moment, the heavy door of the castle suddenly slammed shut, and the room sank into darkness.
